It's not recommended, (for good reasons!), but hey, it's your box, and you decide what you deem to be "secure enough". After all, security is context-dependent, and the worst antipattern is to misuse tech to force people to follow some nonsensical rituals (it happens far too often, alas, but OpenSSH isn't that sort of software). So you can change that, if you wish so. What's your point? Cheers [1] cf. man 5 sshd_config -- t
